About this document
Thrombosis and Embolism Overview by Juan Ortega Putra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses thrombosis and embolism. It describes how activation of the coagulation system leads to the formation of blood clots within blood vessels (thrombosis), and how clots can migrate through the vasculature to distant sites (embolism). This can cause tissue damage by blocking blood vessels and depriving tissues of oxygen, potentially leading to ischemia and infarction. The major causes of morbidity and mortality are myocardial infarction, stroke, and pulmonary embolism.
